[GNOME] Top bar font color customization?

I’ve been using Bluefin for a few days now and everything’s been shockingly smooth, so let me start off by saying I’m very impressed! There’s only one small and rather specific thing I haven’t been able to do yet, which from my understanding is a matter of UBlue+GNOME rather than bluefin specifically:

I’ve set up the Dash to Panel extension which offers different color choices for what would normally be the top bar (which should also mean that the issue is independent from the extension). The problem is that the font color for the clock/wifi/sound/battery icons does not adjust automatically, so the lighter panel colors are pretty much unusable.

From looking around on the internet, a general workaround seems to be editing this font in the gnome-shell.css file, but those topics were in the context of other distros and that file seems to be part of the “atomic” OS core, i.e. it’s read-only.

Am I getting that right, and/or is there some other way to change the top bar font color? I’m new to linux and generally not a GUI or system-level person, so apologies if I’m missing something obvious here.

You can copy it to ~/.local/share/themes and it will read from your home dir.

Hmm I can’t quite get this to work, could you elaborate on what “it” is, i.e. what exactly reads from the home directory, and how I get it to read from there? I created a folder with that path, but if I put a theme there it’s not found by gnome-tweaks (which I guess also means my problem isn’t with the CSS file but with installing themes in general).

You copy the bazzite theme folder, that’s what has the gnome-shell.css

Move it from immutable space to your home dir as shown in the pictures.
